22 The National Contract Management Association NCMA was formed in 1959 to foster the professional growth and educational advancement of its members.

23 Iraq contracting problems House appropriators on Thursday voiced dismay at the depth of contracting problems in Iraq Billions of reconstruction dollars wasted. The Defense Department, spent $151 billion on service contracts in fiscal 2006 Problem Companies- Parsons, DynCorp International, Haliburton (Kellogg, Brown and Root), Bechtel, Aegis Defense Systems, etc. Source: NCMA Website Article with same title, Washington Post Wednesday, July 6, 2005; Page D01 & GAO Report- GAO T 23

24 Cost Reimbursement Contracting Sector: National Laboratory- EG&G, Lockheed-Martin Idaho and Bechtel Situation: CPAF s used by DOE with AF ~5% of allocable cost based on performance against award fee criteria- C.O. sole decision-maker (theoretically). Observations: 1. Work scope poorly defined in contract % of work force remains the same. 3. Approximately 70% of award fee criteria were broad scope statements with no measurable objectives yet specific requirements were known in advance by DOE staff. R&D R work had virtually NO measurable milestones. 4. Most commercial companies could not afford to work with a 5% profit margin. 5. Companies drawn to such contracts probably are motivate by spin-off benefits Results: DOE Management compensated for contracting deficiencies awarding maximum fee (despite poor performance assessments) and profiting from technology developed at taxpayer expense.

25 Fixed Priced Contracting Sector: Residential Building Construction Situation: General development contractors prefer to use fixed price subcontracts to control costs. Observations: 1. There are many variables that subcontractors can t t anticipate (late material, weather, labor force, poor coordination, etc.). 2. No enforceable knowledge and skill level metrics have been established for some trades. 3. Understaffing,, no credentialing of inspectors, general corruption of the inspection process 4. Motivation is to make quick profits then move to new area. 5. Small subcontractors lack the sophistication or resources to protect themselves against unscrupulous General Contractors. 6. Serious lack of knowledge based & ethical licensing requirements of General Contractors. Results: Many general contractors focus on wind-fall profits resulting in highly inflated residential property with poor workmanship and many failed subcontractor businesses Source: Personal views of M.
